Recent ORDAINED Updates
October 5th - ORDAINED has been asked to contribute material for a TV special called "Tales From The Swamp". This SINdependent studio release will feature several different skits and unrelated stories, loosely based around a Halloween theme. ORDAINED will be contributing the SINsored version of our music video "The Diary Of Jack The Ripper" which features award winning XXX porn star Lovette. Additionally, The Reverend will have a "story book" segment which will tie in with the music video. He will be reading directly from the book "The Diary Of Jack The Ripper", a journal allegedly written back in 1888 by Ripper suspect James Maybrick. The journal was found hidden in personal belongings discovered after his death. More details on station and airtime to be posted soon.

(posted) October 5th - The Reverend has returned from his Sin City trip. He did not win the slot tournament he was SINvited to participate in, however he did make several inroads concerning the never ending promotion of ORDAINED. The Reverend will appear in the upcoming brand new Vince Neil music video. He will also be seen on VH-1 in a music special showing off his Motley Crue tattoos and right up at the front of the stage at the Vince Neil concert filmed at the Palms Hotel Casino. Although not in his stage attire, he was sporting the original ORDAINED "Red Cross" shirt. Should any live footage from the sold out Van Halen concert at the Orleans Arena surface in the future, you will be able to spot The Rev in the second row, 5th seat from the aisle. No concrete details yet, but if all goes as planned, the Fox TV show "The Casino" (filmed at the Golden Nugget Hotel Casino) could possibly have a cameo by the ORDAINED frontman as well.
